"Made this as written. Very good!! Added all the fruit to the sauce and served it the next day, we had leftovers the next day and none of the fruit had browned. Next time I may half some cherries for extra color."

"Delish and easy. I made it the day before but added the bananas shortly before serving. This will be a go-to keeper."

"Great salad! Makes a large quantity; sauce is really good. I did wait to add the apples and bananas shortly before serving, but the leftovers did not turn brown quickly, maybe due to the juices in the sauce. I added fresh fruit to the leftovers to make it go further since there was plenty of sauce."

"This was quite good. I have made it twice now, and I learned two things. One, there was way too much sauce in my opinion, so I cut that part of the recipe in half. Much better. Two, don't cut in the apples and bananas until you're ready to serve it. Not terrible, but a lot better (and better looking) to wait. Other than those two things this was delicious and an excellent fruit dish to make in the winter time."

"I have made this recipe many times and I like that I can make it a day ahead. When I do that, I often add the bananas and apples shortly before serving so they don't turn brown/get mushy. I have used different fruits easily, including fresh satsumas and grapes. Sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon and/or cloves to the sauce. The last time I made it I used a small can of pineapple tidbits that didn't have enough juice, so I just added more orange juice to make the 3/4 cup. Very versatile."
